Hook

Raiders of the Serpent Sea and Witches of the North combined finale

Plot Synopsis

Ok so this game was utterly massive. It went for 5.5 hours appx and had the following players. Mercy (Anthony), Odin (Noah), Spite (Xavi), Raik (Adam), Mora (Ana), Maisha (Eli), Tippi (Eric), Milo (Julio), Kalia (Kai), Blade (Steven H), Sanders (Zach). Inkeri (me) was present as a NPC in a careful manner to not show preference. she recevied GM exp.

Exp was 3500 plus 1000 to Adam and Julio for submitting a large writeup of the game. Gold was 300 and 1 token.

As well, heres the lasting effects of the game. Spite and Blade are now afflicted. In the end only 4 party members were left alive, Odin, Spite, Tippi, and Blade.

Heres the most compact summary I can make.
The gods either showed up, or sent avatars, or priests to Froysland based on what was said here. Buffs were passed out, party did self buffs and Odin was able to lead everyone to the collision of two primordial planes. Musphelheim and Niflheim. There, waiting for them was Glasya as she was sapping the energy from the realms of the dead to impose her will on the creation of this world and guide it in her image.
The fight opened by her showing what she had grapped from the previous campaigns. Specifically, the abilities of creation as some gods like Gaea or Eru can do, a vial of the first afflicted blood from Liliths throne in the void beneath the beneath, and the blood of a divine pulled from a living demigod. Using these she summoned in two afflicted bloodthirsters and combat commenced.
It was a nasty combat which i dont need to get into the details of. But in the end only 4 party members were left alive. Odin, Spite, Tippi, and Blade. Blade and Spite ended up getting afflicted in the battle.
The gods of Jaern did end up losing a slightly barely noticeable amount of their power, of which anubis would notice the most as god of the dead. The reason for it wasnt that Glasya was stealing it, as the NPC party had been working with and basically made a godling by reuniting a lost soul, body, and mind, was a reborn Hela of the norse realm. Hela was instead acting as a intermediary and halting the process of Glasya stealing way more than she could and capping that pipeline so to speak, as she was stealing from multiple realms, not just the gods own personal realms. Hela acted as the resistor against significantly more theft of power.
At the end of which, she did profusely apologize to anubis as she dosent want to be here or tread on his domain, and has nothing to offer back as shes basically a teenager.
Additionally, guided by Lilith of the beneath/void mommy, A protective barrier was placed around Spite and Blade until they can find a solution to their affliction problem and IT CANNOT SPREAD ANYMORE.

As a closure to the game. Hela was able to bring the souls of the 7 deceased party members back. Freyja-Atena used a retreat time thing to retrieve the bodies. and the PCs paid for a resurrection via exp, Isis res, or auction res. I think a few have PTSD now.

Freyja would ask the gods for a pardon on Hela 'dissolving' the souls stolen by Glasya as she expects the power difference to be nigh unnoticeable after a few weeks.
A note is that the 'victory' of the party was also mixed. The plane that was being created has been guided in a better direction, but will have some hiccups and trials along the way.
Glasya is alive and was bloodied at 15,000 damage done. Vanishing into the cosmos to recuperate over the coming years/decades/millennia
